Polynesia wedding ceremony

The mesmerising rhythmic beat of the drum floats across the water, the strident cry of a warrior, and the gentle pulsating Polynesia dance of the islands women on the sand mingle with the strange chanting of Tahua reciting the ancient sacred ritual formula.

Breakfast served from a canoe

The perfect destination for a honeymoon couple, Bora Bora has a wide range of hotels, including the original concept of the over the water bungalow - a real must, with all modern conveniences, overlooking the turquoise lagoon with its colourful fish, and the added bonus of meals served from the sea in a canoe.
